Vancouver magazine's Restaurant Awards


Vancouver magazine's annual Restaurant Awards were recently announced but alas, no category for fish 'n chips. One of my favorite dining adventures is seeking out the best fish 'n chips in a city or region. And in my travels to British Columbia, there are some memorable ones. Here are some of my favorites. Oh, and don't forget to click on and see who won in the four dozen categories.

PS: They did have a
Best Seafood category, which was won by Blue Water Cafe in Yaletown

Sue's Favorite Fish 'N Chips Spots in BC:


Red Fish, Blue Fish
- Victoria

Pajo's - Steveston, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam

Go Fish - Vancouver (False Creek Fisherman's Wharf)

Pirate Chips - Nanaimo (1 Commercial Street)

Jigger's - Ucluelet (haven't been here; on my list!)

Pajo's is my favorite for fish and chips as well. Plus, they have the best lemonade ever! I didn't know there was a Port Coquitlam location. Now to find a great fish and chips place in the Fraser Valley...

I didn't know about the Port Coquitlam, either (noted it on their website). I ate at the main one in Steveston, right on the water. Coincidentally, I'll be in Steveston on Friday, so hopefully can fit some fish 'n chips in! What about JoJo's Fish & Chips in Abbotsford? I've never eaten there but have heard about it. Bon Appetit!
